Challenger Corporation, the nation's foremost clinical training and testing company, reported an increase in initial board scores from three prominent residencies that are currently using Challenger Program for Residencies (CPR^TM). All three residencies stated that since implementing CPR^TM, they have seen an increase in their over-all
first time board exam scores, as well as in-service exams. These reports originate in the obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) specialty and complement earlier results in family medicine.

Joseph Johnson, DO, Program Director at the Oklahoma State University Medical Center, OBGYN Residency, stated that his program's residents' scores on the CREOG exam this year were higher than the national averages for both MD and DO programs. CREOG stands for Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a national measure of training outcomes in this specialty. The residents also scored higher on every category on the exam. Dr. Johnson thanked Challenger for helping their program reach such an outstanding success.

Let us tell you a little bit about the process:
